They now hold more power than they have since 1928. It's as if a giant Raid can wiped out the Democrats in office.

President-elect Trump's plan to make America great again includes bringing back President Hoover's 'Hoovervilles' with a 'Hooters' restaurant on every corner? Sounds lovely.

The liberals also want to do all they can to punish the coal workers, oil workers and natural gas workers with their ridiculous environmental regulations and red-tape.

The liberals punishment of oil, natural gas and coal workers has more to do punishing those who didn't spend 8 years of being indoctrinated by crap at liberal arts colleges. They look down on those who actually keep America running with coal, oil and natural gas as opposed to those who sit in classrooms, go into debt and then make a living by consulting.

The liberals also want to burden America's over the road truck drivers with lots of regulations, despite the fact that many liberals sit inside their office suites all-day on Amazon ordering specialty products that they insist is delivered the next day or they have a liberal tantrum.
This is SUCH bull****. All of it.

I do not disrespect that hard work of blue collar workers the world over. I admire their work ethic, tenacity, willingness to do hard labor that many others couldn't do.

I don't want to punish anyone. I want society to realize we have the technology to produce energy that is less harmful to our environment, and thus less harmful to the people who work in these fields and all of us in general.

Liberals tend to support workers unions. Conservatives often don't. Workers unions allow workers to democratically help determine wages and negotiate with employers in a way that an individual worker likely would not have the capacity to do. While liberals also support regulations that can put employers in a situation that requires them to cut wages or lay people off, they still show support for the workers in other ways. I mean, isn't being anti-union basically saying workers should have no ability to rally for better pay? I know the argument is "work somewhere else" but that implies that this is an easily attainable option, which often times, it's not.

Point being, the OP doesn't really know what a liberal is and is making a complex topic into a simple one to get simple people to praise him for his brilliance.
Yes!!!

Many of those fields mentioned are currently protected by workers unions as they should be. If conservatives had their way, unions would cease to exist.

Deregulation hurts everyone, but especially workers.

Trump. Won.

Apparently it doesn't matter how you play the game, it's how you 'play' the marks.

"That plays great before the election ... nah, we don’t care."

You Righties are something else. Broad generalizations are not accomplishing anything. You aren't talking for all Liberals. Quit watching your propaganda station and following their agenda. So much hatred. Why? You won the election remember? Own it....

Fear of the unknown?

What is unknown?

The denial of facts makes it very difficult to engage in these conversations.

I was shocked a relative said something similar over xmas. Along the lines of "we would have sustainable renewable energy if it wasn't for all the stupid coal miners". He probably get's paid more than 300k/yr and lives in san francisco.
